    Tablet will be better than phone.

    I use the keep trucking app for keeping a log, which is a manual entry log. Honestly it's pretty amazing as I don't have to worry about keeping my #### lines straight on paper.

    Updates with location and times, automatically when making a duty status change. If logs are requested I can have them emailed or faxed. It also has a mode for an officer to view them on your device if they request to.

    Now that I am using them I would hate to go back to running paper logs. This is just the same as paper but easier and neater.
